Rachel StewartLet's use the free Isla Top pdf pattern by Tianas Closet to make two super cute and breezy spring/summer tops! I love the tie front design of these blouses, and the gathered puff sleeves make it feel feminine and fun! The design is inspired by the Emerson Fry Isla top, and turned out very similar! I used an old linen fitted bed sheet for my first time using this pattern, and used my beautiful hand block printed cotton from India to make the second version with a few added adjustments. This style is casual and easy to wear, but can also be dressed up a bit! I love both of these tops SO much, and will get so much wear out of them throughout the warmer months.

In today’s video, I’m sharing my favorite bump-friendly sewing patterns that I’ve worn throughout pregnancy. Even though none of these are officially maternity patterns, they’re nursing-friendly, pregnancy-friendly, and wearable anytime, making them perfect for a handmade wardrobe that grows with you. I made so many of these pieces even before I was pregnant, and plan on wearing everything featured in this video long after pregnancy!
You’ll also see a full term pregnancy try-on, so you can get a real look at how these clothes fit at 9 months pregnant.
Stick around the end for a little list of sewing patterns I wish I had time to try during pregnancy, and that I still plan to use art some point!
If you’re looking for versatile sewing inspiration for pregnancy, nursing, and beyond, this video has tons of ideas to get you started.

At 37(ish) weeks pregnant, I’m feeling very ready to meet our baby girl, so I spent this week sewing some sweet, soft pieces for her arrival! In this video, I make a bubble romper out of double cotton gauze, a crossover top and gusset pant set from ultra-soft two-layer knit, a bonnet, two stretchy beanie hats, and a pair of tiny newborn mittens. These are all part of our nesting prep as she’ll be sharing a bedroom with her very excited five-year-old sister.
We’re getting so excited for her arrival, and it feels so special to make a few things by hand before she’s here. I hope this video gives you some inspiration for your own sewing or baby prep!

In this video, I’m making a breezy, multi-print cotton robe that I’ll be living in during postpartum and well beyond! It’s lightweight, comfy, and perfect for slow mornings when I still want to feel a little put together. I know the not-so-cute postpartum days are coming soon, and this robe feels like just the thing to make me feel cute and cared for during those early newborn weeks. I’m already planning to make a second version in cozy double gauze next!
I’m also trying out a projector for the first time, thanks to the sponsor of today’s video, Aurzen! They sent me their Zip Tri-Fold Projector, and I used it to cut this entire robe without printing or taping a single pattern page. I’m sharing how it went, what I learned, and how it worked for my small sewing space.

The original dresses are ethically made and beautifully handcrafted in India, and I’ve been desperately wanting one—but with a baby on the way, I decided to make a more budget-friendly, me-made version that would work for pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond.
I used the Milla Dress sewing pattern by Slow Morning Studio and made the midi length version in a soft Indian block printed cotton voile, sourced from a U.S.-based Etsy seller (fabric imported from India). The finished dress has a relaxed, gathered silhouette that’s breathable, bump-friendly, and perfect for warm weather.
It’s one of the most comfortable garments I’ve made—I've worn it during our family trip to Japan, on hot days visiting family out of state, and now, in my third trimester, it’s still in heavy rotation. It’s also nursing-friendly, and I’d love to make a mini version next!
If you’re looking for a DIY Daughters of India dress alternative, a maternity-friendly sewing project, or an easy summer dress pattern, I hope this video inspires you to make your own!

In this video, I turned a $5 thrifted tablecloth into a nursing-friendly, bump-friendly summer blouse—and now it's one of my favorite pieces in my wardrobe! Let's hang out while I walk you through how I transformed a beautiful embroidered linen tablecloth from Goodwill into a modified version of the free Peppermint Magazine Peplum Top. I adjusted the pattern to include a front tie for breastfeeding access and lengthened it into a tunic to fit my third-trimester bump—with plans to crop it postpartum!
This DIY maternity and nursing blouse is part of my handmade pregnancy wardrobe, and it's perfect for summer. I’m loving the challenge of creating clothes that will work for pregnancy, breastfeeding, and beyond.
Plus, I share a bit about our recent family trip to Japan. I can't wait to share everything I wore and all our fun adventures in my upcoming travel vlog video very soon! Keep your eyes peeled!

In this video, I’m sewing a few breezy spring pieces that I hope will carry me through the rest of my second trimester of pregnancy, into the third, and beyond into breastfeeding and postpartum life. None of these patterns are technically maternity—but they’re all wonderfully bump-friendly, and I’m so excited to share them with you! Stay until the end for a quick try-on and styling!
In this video, I make: • Two oversized button-down shirts (one in a cozy knit, one in linen) • Two pairs of lightweight wide-leg pants • A nursing-friendly babydoll dress • And a flowy spring top

The best part? I used a FREE pattern for my top, and in this video, I’ll show you how I modified it to be both bump and nursing-friendly—without it being strictly maternity! It’s a cute tie-front gathered top that works great now for my growing bump, and can be easily cropped once baby arrives.
For my daughter, I used a simple and sweet kids’ dress pattern, and for my husband, I sewed up a casual short-sleeve button-up—a perfect spring/summer staple. These outfits are just right for the warmer weather we’re finally getting here in San Francisco!

I'm finally getting around to using some super shiny gold knit fabric I've had tucked deep into my stash for the past couple years. This dress was absolutely perfect for the event, and it conveniently makes for a fabulously festive holiday party dress too! Now I know what to wear come New Year's Eve too!

I've made sketches of my plans, so we can sit down and compare them to the finished products at the end of the colder seasons! Even though San Francisco is still warming up, I’m excited to get a jumpstart on my sewing projects, and actually have solid plans this year!
Royalty Free Music from Tunetank.com Track: Walk on the Oceanside by PineapplemusicMy thoughts on KIBBE | How finding my type influences how I sew and shop! + mini try-onRachel Stewart2024-09-24 | The day has finally come to share my thoughts the Kibbe Image ID system! I first came across this concept about two years ago, and immediately dove in to discover how learning about my specific body type could simplify my life, and give me the tools do dress in a way that highlights my features. I was initially SO excited to share all my thoughts with the world until… I got so overwhelmed with the bottomless heap of kibbe info that I just about gave up. Fortunately, I took a step back in an attempt to view Kibbe more broadly, and it ended up helping me in all the ways I hoped it would! I may not be 100% set on a final image ID, but with a few to draw inspiration from and experiment with, I’ve been able to sew and buy garments I truly feel myself in. While I’m no expert, I’ll try my best to fill you in on some of the Kibbe system details, as well as share how I apply my new knowledge to shopping for fabric, sewing patterns, and store-bought clothing too. There’s nothing better than spending 10 hours hand crafting a beautiful garment and then actually reaching for it day after day. I truly feel that discovering more about my body and what makes me shine has lead me to make more clothes I actually love to wear.
Thanks for watching, and if you’ve been waiting since my color analysis video for this one to come out, THANK YOU for your patience!

In this video, I’ll be sharing everything I made in this past year, chatting details, and trying on!

After seeing the sets @Sewingwithsolana recently made, I had to give her Molly Shirt sewing pattern, and Maxi Skirt video tutorials a try! I AM IN LOVE! These sets are SO comfortable, and I love how I can wear these puffy crop tops and gathered skirts together or separately. I'll be styling these all summer! As stated in the title, these pieces are so easy to make, and would be a perfect project for beginner sewists.

For this project, I used a regular single layer high neck tank pattern and made three fully reversible shirts by only adding a few steps! These tanks are perfect for layering under any open neckline sweater, cardigan, or jacket, and look great on their own too! Making these tanks double layered adds exactly the secure feel and opaque look I've been searching for in a basic tank. I've been loving cheerful and brightly colored floral prints for spring, so I had fun choosing the fabric for these tops, and have listed the fabrics below! Thanks so much for watching!

After exploring color analysis and determining that I'm either a soft autumn or true autumn, I realized that some of the clothes in my wardrobe weren't flattering me. Instead of buying all new clothes, I decided to try dying a few things! I used a couple different Rit clothing dyes, as well as black tea to achieve colors that better suit me as an autumn! Learning about my seasonal color analysis, as well as exploring my kibbe body type, has simplified how I shop for clothing and sewing patterns.
